An Uber spokesperson said: “The unique combination of our scale and cutting-edge technology in mobility and delivery will allow our riders to go anywhere and get whatever they want.”

Going forward, the company also intends to expand products to other modes of transport, such as motorcycles and taxis.

In May 2020, Uber announced the withdrawal of its Uber Eats service from eight smaller markets, including Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Romania, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Honduras and Uruguay.

Furthermore, the company will discontinue its app in the UAE, transferring its operations to its Middle East subsidiary Careem.
